Children's Concert Society Violin Project
Here's an unusual canvas ... a violin! I was invited to paint a violin for a fundraiser to support the Akron Children's Concert Society. I created "Night Air" using shimmering blue, purple and gold paints with accents of Swarovski crystals. Look closely and you'll see some favorite constellations. The violins and other work from the artists were on display at a variety of locations before they were auctioned off in April. A wonderful opportunity and a really neat organization!

Fall Harvest Fest at Case-Barlow Farm, Hudson
My guest last year was none other than Susan B. Anthony, aka Belinda Wing, President of the League of Women Voters of Hudson. I had a great time capturing her in oil ... who knew Susan B. was so much fun!
Two years ago, Abe Lincoln stopped
by my booth for a quick historical
portrait. He also made a pitstop in
Hudson during his inaugural whistle-
stop train ride. I danced with
Honest Abe, (Don Reisig when he's
not in disguise!) during a couple
of our breaks ... what fun!
